? ? J AND THEY WERE ? X GOOD FRIENDS o "'You an' htm are kind of at outs, ain't you?" queried the man with lue hoe. "Me im' him?** said the man with the hod in a surprised tone. "I sh'd say not. Bill an' me? Why we're the hest kind o* friends. Who was tellin' yon we was at outs?" "1 think it was Jack Briggs," replied the man with the hoe. "If I remem fcer right, he said you an' Bill had some trouble a year or so ago about some money he claimed you owed him/' "Oh, that!" said the man with the hod. - "Sure, yes, we did have some trouble?at least he was the feller that had the moat of the trouble, but that's all over and done with. I don't hear him no hard feelln's, an' If he's Sot anythin' against me he knows enough to keep his; moutn shut." "Did you pay him the money?" ""Who, me?" asked the man with the nod "Not on your life, I didn't. Why ?would I? I didn't owe him any money." "What made him say you owed him money, then?" asked the man with the hoe. "Maybe he thought if he claimed it . 3'd ]pay it," said the man with the hod. "'I guess he thought I was easy. ? 1 am easy, too, but not easy enough for that** "Do you mean to say he lied about St?" asked the man with the hoe. "3 certainly do," said the man with the hod. "I mean to say he lied about it, an' l mean to say that I told him he lied about, it an' that he knew 3ie was lyin". You bet he won't ever stop at a lie if he thinks he can make a nickel out of iL He's that kind of a feller. Yes, sir, he went around .tel lin* everybody he knew that I owed him $6.35 an' wouldn't pay it. Two or three of my friends came to me an" told me about it: I went to him an' I rubbed my fist against bis none. " 'You're givin' it out that 1 owe you money an' won't pay you,' I says " 'That's right.' he says. 'You owe me $6.35 an' I'd like to have you set tle.' " 'Didn't I tell you once that I'd paid you all I ever owed you?" I says "Didn't I tell you that you was a liar?' " 'That doesn't make me so,' he says. 'I claim you owe me the money an' 1 want you to pay ? e.' "I handed him one on the side o* the head an' told him to take it out o' that, tn' he came back at me with a punch on the jaw an' told me that ?was the change I had comin' That made me mad an' I sailed in an' gave him the darndest lickin' ever he had in his- life. 1 guess I never did use a feller up worse'n I did him. When I ?ot through with him I told him that if I ever heard of him slanderin' me again I'd come around an' give him another licki?,'." "That stopped him, did it?" "No, that didn't stop him," v replied ? the man with the hod. "I had to gtyi; him another poundin' afore, he lauf t. You've noticed how his nose is kinder twiBted to one side ain't you? . Well, he got that from w-i, an' he deserved it,- the low-lived, contempterble" bilk. He'd worked that game on one or two tetters I know of. but I showed him he couldn't work it on me. I made him ?own he wus a liar..-' But we ve never had any trouble since then." "I see," said the man with the hoe. "'Then you haven't 'got any hard feel xn'8 against him? You're good friends now, eh?" "Sure," replied the man with the hod. "Why wouldn't we be? I didn't pay him anythin." Doom of Newspapers. The ingenious Mr. Wells has pre ?dieted a time when the day's news will be given to the world through the medium of gigantic mouther mega phones. There will be no writing, no reading in those happy days. Books will have been abolished, the gentle art of typesetting as forgotten as is today the secret of archaic Tyrian dyes. Those who lived by the pen perished by the pen (better say by the publishers). And what, we ask our startled reader, would be the cou sequences if all the libraries. Came ;gian and otherwise, all the printing presses, all the paper, ink and scrib blers were suddeuly to vanish. Such a condition may be easier im agined than described. Say, for an example, that a universal bsneficient tyrant succeeded in abolishing books for a century: wouldn't his monument in enduring marble and gold be erect ed by admiring and succeeding sener ations? Instead of miles of obituary notices, wouldn't his effigy in ivory and diamonds puss from hand to hand as a thing sacred? The world has for so many centuries been dominated by the superstition of the printed word that the silencing of ink for at least 1?0 years would bring forth nations ?composed of thinkers and warriors. Oculists would go out of business. Teaching in the open air. In th^ man ner of ancient Athens, would again lind popular favor. The orator would top the novelist, and the Bryaus and Roosevelts of that far-away epoch? reticent. Taciturn temperaments? -would cast aside the pen for the speak ing trumpet. Frabjous days, indeed! ?New York Sun. Englanl has a good many mere farms than most people imagine, and last year there were 1,494,QS9 horses at work on them. Estate Notice.

Many a famous belle owes mon than half her reputation for good looki to the beauty or profusion of her hair and therefore the indifference so often shown by women to this Incontestab'.t fact is nothing short of amazing.. Al most anythinc cau be done with the hair by proper care, for it responds very quicUiy to treatment and can be more radically altered thuu almost anv other physical feature. To be iu :-'ood condition it should be fluffy and pliable. No woman can look her pest will? oily hair, yet almost a? author ities agree that frequen: washings ol ihe rcalc is injurious. hecaus* the alkali in soap tightens the scalp par .i!;>zts the oil glands and rendmi them . i.hvhle to perform their function ol nourishing the roots of the hair.

The hair itself should be dry and fluffy To carry out the rules of health fot both scalp and hair requires some serious thought, but among the sim plest and most -fnVa :ious methods ol obtaining complete cleanlim with out interfering with the supply of nat ural oil in the scalp is the ti e of.:hali powder as a substitute for a shampoo with water. The idea is very, very old in' Swed en and has already gained much ground in America, whore the advan tages to be gained by this method are beginning to be generally appreciated. The hair is parted in several ^places with an ordinary comb, and generous supply of powder is shaken Uno it without being allowed to tou?b. the scalp. Before heginnlug this process the scalp should he thoroughly''Vi-a* saged with the tips of'the Angers.' us ing both hands, ore On each side of the head, and spreading ihe lingers apart" slightly, pressing'and kneading the scalp to that it moves about free ly. After 10 mini:,es of th' a enforced exerdse the scalp is pink and glowing, and in order to derive the greatest possible benefit from the treatment the fingers should be dipped in a good hair tonic. By this method botb the ECalp and hair are kept in a very pink of condition; the brushing necessary to remove the powder giving an ex quisite sheen and leaving beautifully fluffy, pliable locks.?Vogue.

When Frank Jones, a negro was ar raigned before Magistrate Carey at the Third and De Lancey police sta tion on a charge of assault and battery, the defense ordered Harry Proctor, of Fifth and Lombard streets, a 10-year cld negro boy, as a witness. The magistrate told the boy to place his hand on the Bible and in the usual form put him under oath. He was asked if he understood what he had done. "I swared," said the negro boy. "And what will happen to you now if you tell a lie?" asked the magistrate in a grave voice. "My mammy she'll lick me." "Is that all?" was the magistrate's query. "No, sah; de debbil he'll git me," replied the boy. And then the judge leaned over the railing in front of his desk and, with a menacing finger, said: "Yes, and I'll get you. too." Quick as a flash came the boy's re Ply: "Jedge, dat's what I jest done said." ?Philadelphia Times. Where He Learned English. They are telling in San Francisco, with much appreciation, a story at the expense of a certain "pompous Brit isher" who crossed from Yokohama die other day in the steamship Korea. Among the other passengers was Wong Kwong, a cultivated Chinaman, who is general manager of one of the most important engineering concerns in his own country. The unnamed Britisher treated the little Celestial with a pat ronizing air that was endured without protest until a convenient moment came for retaliation. Wong had just finished telling a good story in the smoking room. "1 say, my man," re marked the Britisher as soon as the laughter' had subsided, "you speak English very well for a Chinese." "Yes;"' replied Wong; "1 have a great many Englishmen iu my employment." -r-Manchest er Guardian. Easier to Hit.
